Surface Pro 2 1.9 CPU Lot Numbers

[Pentad]

I just placed order with 512gb and have been told that according to internal memo to them three days ago, all shipments are with new processor.

Are you ordering from BB or the MS Store?

Got a 1350 Surface Pro 2, it is the new 4300u

My warranty exchange was a lot 1348, not surprisingly has a 4200u. Would have loved a 4300u unit but this one at least seems much better than what I had.

That's what counts most of all!:big smile:

Yeah, the reality is the cpu bump got me motivated enough to realize that I shouldn't accept these problems and to look into a replacement.

I just got my new Surface Pro 2 from Best Buy. I told the salesperson about the number 1350 on the box and he returned with one. Of course, I opened the box IN the store. To my delight as you can see from the picture, I do indeed have the new updated SP 2 4300 1.9 ghz

Fantastic Candy and welcome to the forum!

Mine is #1351 - 4300 - 256gb. It was ordered on 12/28 from the MS store.

[BLAH BLAH BLAH]...the addition of LTE with a future gen of the Surface will not render the previous version obsolete based on LTE...[BLAH BLAH BLAH]

It's nice to have the choice though. I can add 30 days of non-renewing LTE before a trip and use WiFi the rest of the year. I rarely activate mine, but am very glad that chip is in there when I do

For anyone considering the 512GB SP2 from the Microsoft online store -- it's the older version. I ordered on 1/10 -- received it on 1/13: Lot #1348 :-(

Same here... I ordered on the 12th... shipped yesterday, received today. Lot 1348.

Return it and wait a few weeks? Called Microsoft customer service and they said they had no idea and offered me a refund. For $1799 at this point.. may as well wait for the faster processor.

I had the same issue. I really like the SP2 and want the 512GB version but the new CPU offers some features I would really use. It is a real pain not being able to just order what you want.
